Fish and chip van for events in North Street
Fish and chip van for events in North Street, fried fresh
Organisers can book us as a trader, or to feed crew and volunteers. Whether it’s community open days and music and food festivals, we can cook chips, sausage and chips and curry sauce and more.
Rural events near North Street can be a long way from anywhere to eat, so a chip van is a welcome sight. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your event, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.

Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it is especially welcome on a cold day.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Before you choose a spot
We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- A clear route onto the pitch
- Somewhere firm if it rains
- Space for a queue away from paths
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

North Street questions
Is North Street too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
How far is North Street from London?
About 51 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you cover North Street?

What’s on the menu?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Do we need to provide equipment?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
How long does set-up take?
We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
Can the van park on grass?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Who clears up?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for visitors.
Organising for someone else?
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will confirm what we can provide.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Cakes and sandwiches are popular, but hot food is a draw when it’s cool. Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We’ll tell you up front.
